Trapped in stained glass
Commentary
I love stained glass. I grew up in churches that were very traditional, older structures, and
stained-glass windows were essential parts of those sanctuaries. I have meditated on the
messages contained in those windows through the years. And I have gained great insight,
blessing, and inspiration from how stained-glass artists have depicted the events and
characters of scripture.
For all of that, though, it may be important in our day to free Jesus from stained glass -- at least in the minds of many people.
